Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, Time, Time, Luck and Load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Chans are passed on from parents to offspring, often determining
traits like her color personality and you have an eye color,
My chans are blue.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Sidney Sweeney has great keynes.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We begin with the backlash of our new ad campaign
featuring actress Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
The ads are for American Eagle and the tagline is
Sydney Sweeney has great genes. Now.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
In one ad, the blondehair, blue.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Eyed actress talks about gees as in DNA, being passed
down from her parents. The play on words is being
compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertone.
Speaker 5 (00:49):
Lord have mercy, baby's got a blue jean Joe, Buy
the bust.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Stop and across the street to open up.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
The windows to take a peek.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I'll see goose walking rocking Locker road Star. Even help
us babes, God of blue jeans.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
All upon good genes activates a troubling historical associations for
this country. The American eugenics movement and it's prime between
like nineteen hundred and nineteen forty, weaponized the idea of
good genes just to justify white supremacism.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Should we be surprised that a company whose name is
literally American Eagle is making fascist propaganda like this? Probably not,
but it's still really shocking. Like a blonde haired, blue
eyed white woman is talking about her good genes like
that is not seeing propaganda Lord.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Have Mercy Baby by gouter blue jeans.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
All in the.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Past, we've seen her with her family members who are
all clearly red hat people in the moment. Some people
gave her a pass for that, obviously, because you can't
choose your family, but her silence since then and this
campaign with American Eagle now really seals the deal with
where she's at. Obviously, the campaign goes beyond just a
bunch of photos and videos in which she's wearing jeans
where none of them seem to fit, which was an
odd choice, but every single ad is specifically emphasizing this
(02:30):
double entendre with the word jeans, saying that Sidney Sweeney
has great genes. That is said throughout the ads over
and over and over again. And they could have chosen
a number of angles to go about this campaign, but
saying that about a blonde hair, blue eyed woman right
now who's dressed all.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Like yeeha America. That says a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It's pretty obviously promoting European centrism, and it has everyone
up in arms about it.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Loll have mercy, baby bchcuter blue jeans all.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I'm sist a girl like eist lost a man to
a white girl. Doesn't it tell me you are jealous
of white women without telling me you are jealous of
white women? My goodness, you're upset that an attractive white women,
(03:22):
attractive white woman is wearing a pair of jeans and
it focuses on her butt and I release love it.
Good grief, my mind mine, an American eagle is going.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Oh please, please don't keep criticizing our ad.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
We've sold out of the gens twice in two weeks.
Speaker 9 (03:50):
Please please don't tell us in the Briar patchion no more.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They are killing it on these jeen sales. Now it
is a good ad. I will admit it's a good ad. Ramon,
did you know who Sidney Sweeney was? Oh? What is that? Okay?
That was weird? Oh yeah, okay, well but oh oh
(04:17):
myn okay, okay, oh my wow, okay what had you
seen her in in? Nothing? Little buddy, you say the
strangest things. So I looked her up because I didn't
know who she was. Sidney Bernice Sweeney she must be
named after her grandmother. Sydney Bernice Sweeney born September twelfth,
(04:41):
nineteen ninety seven is an American actress and producer. She
gained early recognition for her role in Everything Sucks. I
haven't seen it?
Speaker 8 (04:52):
You do?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You tell me whether you've seen any this stuff? You've
seen that? Okay, the Handmaid's Tail, Sharp Objects. She received
wider acclaim for her or is it whiter acclaim for
her performances in the drama series Euphoria and the first
(05:14):
season of the anthology series The White Loaves. Oh oh,
I have seen her? Okay, nothing And I watched that
And don't even send me, fellas, don't even send me.
You watch that. Listen, let me tell you something. Thirty
six years in, my wife lets me repair to a
(05:35):
little cottage out behind our house, which she has set
up as a men's lodge for me to smoke indoors.
And my buddies come over and we watch Jeopardy from
Ken Jenning's first episode all the way back, just watching
Alex and just gushing over Alex because we think Alex
(05:57):
Trebek is the greatest. And if she occasionally says, hey,
there's a series, will you watch this with me? I
do it? I do? I have no shame upon that.
Oh oh, I have seen her in another film, Quentin
Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I saw her
in that let's see drama film Reality seen that. Okay,
(06:25):
they don't hear you say no? So could you do
or whatever you do? Okay, romantic comedy, anyone but you?
The superhero film Madam Webb, horror film immaculate. What are
these movies? I never even heard of them. She was
born in Spokane, Washington, raised in Northern Idaho. I only
(06:51):
know two people raised in Idaho, and that was Sarah
Palin and Susan Plank. Susan Plank was miss Idaho the
year before or after Sarah Palin. I just don't remember
which year. Michael Plank's wife, So she was born. She
(07:13):
was born in uh where as my grandma says. She
was born in Spokane, raised in Northern Idaho in a
religious family. She went to Saint George's School in Spokane.
She says, I was in every single sport possible. Yeah, yes,
because you went to a little white school, sister girl.
Let's see, she started auditioning for commercial acting jobs in
(07:37):
Seattle and Portland. Then she relocated to Los Angeles. She
is valedictorying of her graduating class at Brighton Hall School
in Burbank, California. She briefly worked at Universal Studios, Hollywood,
but I think that was like an administrative job. And
then she got an acting job. She went to UCLA.
(07:57):
She started acting. Oh, she got big old boo. There's
a picture here with her in a dress. You can't
tell that in her in her thing. She was a
guest star on nine O two one, oh, Criminal Minds,
Gray's Anatomy, and Pretty Little Liars. I guess we won't
ever know if you ever watched those humes. She was
in the Netflix series Everything Sucks, Sharp Objects. Let's see.
(08:24):
From Levisians to librarians, everyone listens Michael very Show. Are
you a boobman? Nobody can hear you. Are you more
of a boob than a booty man? Depends on which
(08:48):
direction If you had to say, what would you say? Boobs?
Speaker 8 (08:54):
Really?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
See, I'm not I'm not. A woman can be flat chested,
and it does. It doesn't bother me at all. I
don't like big old, massive boobs, though, do you? But
some dudes do. Some dudes like the big goo tatas,
(09:18):
I mean massive. I know a couple of people like that,
but I'm not going to say their name on the
air because I'm not authorized. But it's people you would know.
The bigger the better, I mean, you can't. You can't
get too big for them, I mean big. Why not
Dan Pastorini? Why did you say Dan Pastorini? What makes
(09:39):
you think Dan Passerini is a boob man? No? I
mean he may be, Honestly, I don't know. I really
don't know. Somewhat related, did I tell you that Pamela
Anderson and Liam Neeson are now apparently dating? Did you
(10:00):
know this? So they're on some movie set together. Do
you know which one?
Speaker 9 (10:05):
It is?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Naked? Gun too correct? Very good? People are saying she
was taken with him? No, nothing, okay, thank you? Yeah, yeah,
it's yeah, it's okay, that's okay. Yeah, that's that's an
interesting couple. Did I ever tell you I met Pamela
(10:31):
Anderson was in Malibu circa two thousand and six, and
she was there in rehab, and I had gone to
hang out with my buddy David Sapristine, and he had
a glorious home in Malibu. I mean, g glorious. David
(10:58):
was the first person I ever saw who got a
haircut at home. It was a group of us guys
that were all buddies together and we're all there hanging
out and we're going to some event that night, I
don't remember. He was being honored for something. And we're
all hanging out at the pool, drinking, carrying on, and
(11:20):
we look up and on the balcony David is getting
his haircut, and and they got the whole you know,
they got the sheet over him and all this, and
it says, very flamboyant. I'm going to assume this dude's
home up and he's going at it. He's got the
frosty tips like you know, your your your youth minister
(11:42):
in the eighties. And and afterwards, I said, man, David,
I didn't know you could get a haircut at home.
I guess if you're a billionaire, you can get anything
you want. And he said, I said, I can't believe
you've got a guy to come to your house and
he said, that's christ Off. He'll cut my hair wherever
I And I said, oh, who is Christoph? Christoph? No, no, Christoph.
(12:07):
I don't run in that circle, especially in LA And
he said, remember when they shut down the airport and
made the planes circle because Bill Clinton was getting the
haircut at Lax. Yeah, yeah, that was Christoph. I said, Oh,
I wasn't really up on my hairdressers as it were
(12:32):
at the time. Jim Mudd sent me a picture of
Sidney Sweeney and yes, she has big boobies. That's not
my thing, but one can't help but notice in this
particular outfit which frankly, which frankly looks like a teddy
that you would wear to sleep. But I'm looking behind
(12:55):
her and it's some sort of award ceremony. She has
brought the twin out. It is a debut, My goodness alive. Well, anyway,
if you don't know what's going on, American Eagle is
apparently I didn't know this, but they are apparently a
brand that makes retail clothing products. Does that sounds sufficiently old? Ramon?
(13:20):
And one of their retail products is a pair of jeans,
and they have Sidney Sweeney as actress who I guess
I know who she is. I didn't realize it. She
gets out of the Is it about a sixty five Mustang?
Do I recall what? I can't remember what the vehicle is.
I think it's about sixty five, sixty six, sixty seven
Mustang like Alicia Jefferson has. And she gets out, and
(13:41):
she goes and uh, and she pops the hood like
she's about to do something on an all white set,
if I recall correctly. And she leans over so you
can see her booty, and then you're supposed to believe
her hands are dirty because she's been working under the
This is a weird fan to see ramone. I don't
(14:02):
have a fantasy of a girl working on a car,
do you. I'm too much of a clean freak. I
don't think to myself, Oh my goodness, she has oil
and grease. She just set the points on that thing.
Oh my goodness, that's not in my that's not in
my top tip. Yeah. I mean she reaches in there
(14:25):
and grabs a dipstick. She can put it back. She
got oil in her hands. You're gonna need to shower, honey.
I'm sorry, but anyway, I guess that does it for somebody,
not me?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Not me?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, So anyway, so then she drops the hood back
down and she walks back to get in the car.
But now that her hands are dirty, she has to
wipe them on her bum so she kind of puts
a rub on both of the bum cheeks and then
she gets in the car. Well right on cute, And
I guarantee you, I guarantee, I have zero doubt American
(15:00):
Eagle has propped this story up because now you've got
all these black women out there mad, they're weaves fallen
off one. This is Nazi, this is white people because
she's white. The Pulse The King of Ding continues show
(15:21):
with the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaching, and it
will be tomorrow at six pm Eastern, five p Central.
The Astros are currently in a conversation to acquire a
former Astro to help them in the playoff run. If
(15:45):
you don't know who it is already, I'll give you
his walk up song, and you see if you can guess.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Shut.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Your bad name. In Minnesota, Twins shortstop Carlos Correa has
a full no trade clause. He cannot be traded unless
(16:19):
he consents, and apparently he has told friends in Houston
that he would waive that clause in order to get
back to Houston. He didn't want to leave in the
first place, but there was money on the table. And
my understanding by mutual friends, well JJ isbel is a
(16:43):
very good friend of his. They're very close friends. But
my understanding from folks who know Correa is that from
the moment he left, he started making clear he would
like to come back. So that would be that that
would be a very interesting addition to the team. I
(17:03):
don't know what would have to be given up to
get him. Did you see last week ramon John Singleton's
mom A mom John Singleton's wife announced that he had
been released again. That was and then the sports media
said Singleton has been NFA according to his wife, for
(17:29):
first time I ever recall that happening, that sports media
gave as the source for a breaking news personnel decision,
that his wife had posted it on Twitter. I have
to think that he told her she could do it,
but she said, all right, guys, I guess I'll just
(17:50):
tell you John's been NFA. And that that was that
and so sore there we were, so the thing that
it got the Astro's criticism was it was Astro's family
Day the day before, and there was John Singleton. Oh,
(18:11):
don't tell the black ladies this, but there he was.
I believe his wife is white, and then they have
like three kids. I see the picture in my mind,
but I don't have it in front of me. But
I believe his wife is white, and then I think
they have about three kids between them. It was the
day after Astro's family day, and so people were criticizing you.
(18:31):
How are you gonna bring this man and his family
down on the field to celebrate his family and the team.
You already cut him before, I think multiple times, But
I could be wrong on that. Now you're gonna bring
him down there, and then the next day you're gonna
cut him from the team. And I agree, it's an
unfortunate set of circumstances. But if you were thinking you
(18:55):
might cut him, Let's let's say the day before the
family comes, you think you there's a good chance you're
gonna cut him. It's gonna go down to the wire,
you got it's it's you know, six one, a half
dozen the other, and uh, you're feverishly working the phones
and you go, hey, Singleton. I know your family's coming,
won't you not? We mean want you not? Um, why
(19:20):
don't you not bring your family? Why? No reason? But
it's Astro's family day. Everybody else is gonna have their family. Yeah,
it's Astro's family day. You see. You know what I'm saying.
It's it's Astro's family day. It's not family day at men.
(19:44):
It made. It's Astro's family Day. Yeah, I'm gonna ask.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
Oh, oh.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, well thanks for sparing me the embarrassment. Uh, kids,
Daddy's home, Daddy tomorrow. We going to minute at May.
I better stop saying a minute made. My wife, my wife,
my niece, my brother Chris's daughter, Bailey is in the
(20:16):
marketing department at dyke In and so I better learn
to say and Dike and Field what they call it
icebox instead of the juice box. Icebox. And one of
her job responsibilities, Believe it or not, she doesn't tell
us anything like she'll come over to the house with
her husband Andrew, and we'll be asking how work's going,
(20:38):
and she'll go, it's fine. And then you know, do
you do anything with the with the Astros? Yeah, I manage. Uh,
they've got in addition to orbit, they got some diyking
thing and it's like a space alien. It's like a
character around Jetson's cartoon era stuff. It's like got a
(20:58):
it's got one eye cyclops and then a little do
you remember TiVo Ramon? You remember the mascot for Tvo,
Well they got something like that Bacon does. They didn't
ask my opinion, but I don't particularly care for it.
But I couldn't tell her that because I don't think
she came up with it. But her job is to
(21:19):
do the marketing, and that's what she does. So she
does the you know, here's where the sign's gonna go,
and here's where this is gonna go, and me being me,
I can't help. But I'm like, Bailey, that sign on
the was at the north side of the building. Something
about the way they've done that sign. It separated off
(21:39):
the building. I can't really read that. It says diking. Okay, well, well,
I mean I'm just telling you, y'all paid a bunch
of money for that, and you can't really read that,
it says. And then she leaves and my wife is like,
why would you do that? Do what? Why would you
criticize the sign, well, because I remember, you know, when
I come in and I come in next to Joysticks,
(22:05):
Callus is placed there, and I usually go in, I
have a drink with Callous, the guy that owns Joystick
the video game place, and then I park there and
I stroll over unless I have even if I have
Diamond Club tickets, if somebody gives me that, I always
stop there, have a drink with him, see how he's doing,
play a couple of video games. Crocket likes to play
the video games as well. And then we go over.
(22:27):
And when you come in from that entrance right you're
coming in from West Houston. You come down and you
take the exit. I forget what that road is. There's
a Chinnivert. I mean it might be Chinnivert anyway, and
you pull up and there's the sign and the dyking
is hard to read that it's dyking. If you already
know it's Diking, then you know it. But if you
don't know, the point was you spent over one hundred
(22:47):
million dollars. You ought to be able to see that.
It says Diking. And she says, Bailey didn't choose the
damn sign. Why would you criticize well, that's what I do,
right Like, I give my opinion. I get my opinion
all day long, I know, but nobody asked you. Nobody
asked me for my opinion. Today, I still get my opinion.
I've talked about. Let's see Sydney Sweeney's boobs, Sidney Sweeney's
(23:11):
booty the eighteen congressional district in every candidate therein Rodney
ellis Ramon's responsiveness. That's what I do. I offer opinions.
He didn't need to do that. She didn't need what
she did to go back and tell the CEO in Japan.
Oh hey, my uncle thinks were she changed a sign
on tweet? Yeah? Yeah, it'd be a good idea show
(23:34):
it's niche and wide. Sorry I was distracted. Chance knows
that lay Miss is one of my favorite musicals of
all time. And he made Yes it's gay. I don't care,
(23:56):
it's awesome. He made a video. He took a video
of Jean Valjean singing bring Him Home, and as he's singing,
puts a picture of Carlos Korea up in the corner.
Because remember, Cosette is in love with Mario? Is it Mario.
Speaker 9 (24:22):
Here?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
You come? Like Don Juan it's better than an opera.
What is his name?
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Hold on, remon playing me some music. I gotta think
about this for s oh Marius Marius. Yes, yeah, here
it is. Yeah, go ahead and play that. God, Yes,
(24:52):
this is Carlos Correa. Well technically it's in order to
the astros he.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
P mine.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
You have always been there. He keeping a friend.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I know, y'all know. Let but the barricades have fallen,
that the battle is the revolution is on cosettes man
is missing in the gutters. Thenardier has stolen them gold
(25:45):
out of people's teeth.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
He's like the sun.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I'm like them.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
No, God, this is not the one where he listenside
the opera house. That's the whole difference. No, he does
not wear half a mask. Stop you're just playing games.
Don't make any cat jokes. I don't want to hear
any of it, none of.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
It, and will be.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
You know what I'll do, if you're nice, I will,
off the cuff, make you a list of my ten
favorite shortstops of all time. There's a treat all right,
off the cuff, number of them as we go. I'm
gonna start with Craig Rentles, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Because Number one, I loved his little side arm throw
that he did. And number two he's the last white
(26:44):
guy to ever play shortstop in Major League Baseball. And
number three, most importantly, he's on staff at Second Baptist
and he's a man of God who preaches the word
fantastic human being. All right. Number one, we got Creig Rentoles,
and I will admit there's some external factors at play there.
Number two Dickie Thon Why because I had lunch with him. Sorry,
(27:04):
but I had to drop that. Number two because he's
Puerto Rican. Number three because he was fantastic. Number four
because he's in the history book because he got Beanbald
in the head. Let's see number three. I know you're thinking, Izy,
calm down. This is my list, not yours. You make
your own. You can send it to me if you want,
buy email through the website Michael Berryshow dot com. Number three,
(27:25):
I'm gonna go with Davey Conceptsy on uh for the
same reason that I loved Many Trio at Second for
the Phillies. I love that little side arm whip he
had loved Davey Conceptcy on number four. Number four, we're
gonna go with Ozzy the Wizard because I loved how
he would go out there and do backflips, but he
had no stick. The dude batted like two twenty two
(27:47):
every year. I don't remember what bating average was, was
like two twenties. Number five, we're going with Gary Templeton.
And before you start telling me no, no need to
beat no, uhuh, I don't want to hear it. It's
Gary Templeton. Because when Templeton was Trey, he did straight
up from San Diego to Saint Louis. The fans boot
him while he was up at bat in his last game,
and he gave him the middle finger. But he did
(28:09):
the middle finger where you do the right hand like
you're you're you're, you know, shooting it up to victory
and you take the left hand and you slap the
right bicep. He gave the whole fan group that because
he was leaving San Diego and he didn't need to
bother them. Number six, you've got uh. I'm probably gonna
go with Larry Boa because he's the second last white
boy to ever play shortstop back in the day when
(28:30):
that when that happened. Let me think of who else
I will oh, number seven, Andre Robertson because before Bucky
did took his position. Andre was from Orange nineteen seventy
six Western Stark graduate, ended up working at the plant
in DuPont with my dad when when his career was over.
Number eight. Let me think of who number eight would be. Yeah, no, no,
(28:53):
we don't do modern players. This is all the old guys.
Let me think who I am missing out.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
You got the.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Reds, You've got white Sox Yankees. It was never a
big Red Sox fan. Got uh the Brewers? Who was
was that Robin youngt? I think they moved you out
to third. I'm gonna go Cal Ripken Jr. If for
(29:23):
no other reason than durability and likable guy. You gotta
like Cal Ripken Jr. It's number eight. Alan Tramill. Yeah, oh,
good call. Good call, because Alan Tremill and Lou Whitaker
have the I think they probably still have the record
for most number double plays. Tramill was fantastic. Yeah, I
mean I was never a huge fan of his per se,
but he's a good player. Shoot, Nomern. You know, one
(29:49):
day the way we study rush, now, one day they
will go back in the archives and they will study
this show, and they'll say, so you're you're telling me
that what you consider good radio is the host trying
to come up with a list from when he last
paid attention to baseball in the seventies of his favorite shortstops,
(30:10):
and he gives extra credit for dudes being white. Correct, Yes,
that's correct. It's more kind of hanging out at the
bar than produced radio. But our first hour, I'll be
honest with you, our first hour was so good I
half assed mailed this second went in just to balance
it out, because I don't want people to be like, oh,
you hit a home run, you shit a home run? No, no, no,
(30:31):
that's one hour. You get one hour.
